Vanguard 'vgclient.ini' Tweaking Guide: 3.1

Fruitless ritual bump.

I know this hasn't been updated in awhile but are these tweaks still recommended?

i would also like to know..

For my part, if these tweaks are universally beneficial, just please incorporate them into the base UI. That way rather than doing old tweaks over and over again, we can analyze the new .ini and adjust from where we know we get best performance.
Here's hoping that the devs do indeed have someone working on performance issues.

Nice to see that this thread is still around

I just wanted to throw my thanks in for providing this guide! Using only the ingame options I was able to get myself up to about a consistent 25-30 fps with frequent dips into the teens but after making some of the .ini changes suggested in this thread the framerate drops are very rare and I'm actually averaging 30-45 fps now -- well, 45 is the max I set in the .ini file so who knows just how low it could go. Everything still looks great but the performance gains are impressive, so thanks again!

Is there a way to tweak the ini so that the game does not drop to around 8 fps when its in windowed mode and in the backround?

As I said up in the Performance Support forum, it's a Windows thing.
Posting the same question to multiple forums will not get you the answer you're seeking, as it does not exist within Vanguard.

I've added the tweak guide to Off the Isle, along with pre-patched VGClient.ini files for specific resolutions. Hopefully it'll be helpful for someone.

Hello all I'm new.
I'm intrigued by these tweaks, although the first post doesn't seem to explain what they do, so I don't want to experiment incase I ruin something. But one thing I would like to try is the "ConfiguredInternetSpeed=15000"
I have a 20mbit cable connection which is pretty fast, so I wondered if there is something I could set like that, to make the game feel a bit snappier? Is that the one I should type? If so, what number should I type? Also, does anyone know a setting that can make objects load a bit further away?
Thanks

I also noticed that i commented this iShaderCacheSizeMB=20 but i noticed each time i log in, if i check the vgclient file it gets put back in.? any ideas on a way around this?

I think it pretty much has been determined that most of Vanguard performance issues are because of the hard drive having to catch up, most people who have bought a solid state hard drive have reported amazing results

Looks like I'll have to do some tweaking as I have a number of instances of spinning in place when I try to turn my character.
My system is: Vista Home Premium, 3 gigs ram, and a NVIDIA GeForce G100 video card. All patches up to date.
I'll try to game again after I defrag using diskeeper.

Defragging my hard drive helped only slightly.

What is your CPU? thats an IGP graphics card isn't it?

PCI-Express. 256 meg video on the card. Shader 3.0. card bios 62.98.3f.0.8 Driver date is: May 5, 2011.
Using the game settings to lower the moving grass to zero made movement and turning much much easier.

Is this guide up to date? does it still hold true?
